    Our first time at The Nest was outstanding. Our long time friends joined us on a rainy, gloomy evening. On entering the updated dining & bar area, a bright inviting atmosphere, we met at the bar & had a round of cocktails, well prepared by the bartender. We all started with salads, well executed, crisp, fresh Caesar & wedge .... main course entrees included: NY Strip (juicy, flavorful, cooked just right - medium rare); Lamb Lollipops, seared scallops & a special -Wahoo dressed with watercress & chimichurri sauce - fantastic!! All 4 of us enjoyed the fresh vegetables which accompanied our entrees and the nice wine selection as we all like different types. We split a slice coconut creme cake...... a great dining experience!!!

    We enjoyed our dining experience very much, beautiful view of the sunset! 3 of us ordered the prefix menu (included salad entree and dessert) 1 ordered off the main menu black grouper, (came with mashed potatoes and julienne vegetables). All were delicious and served as ordered. They also had happy hour drink pricing, a key lime martini (which lived up to its name). We will return! It was a lovely evening. Gabriel, our server was an Angel.

    Absolutely beautiful inside ambience awesome view , and food was delicious I had grouper with seasonal vegetables with mashed potatoes, my husband had scallops cooked to perfection. Not to mention the bar area has the best Bar food which you really do not get in most restaurants. And what really assents it aside is the staff , they treat you like family.

    The food was very good. The service was efficient & friendly. It was an odd feeling as the place is so large but there were only a handful of people dining on a Saturday night. As for value prices were reasonable for the food but the drinks were over priced for the quality. We live in Island Dunes and I want to like this place. We eat out a lot and there are just so many other places that we like better.
    The NestResponded on 21 September 2024
    We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food and found our service efficient and friendly. We aim to provide a balance between quality and value, and we're sorry if you felt that your drinks did not satisfy. To address your concern regarding the amount of people - we purchased the restaurant just a few months ago and are brand new to the area. Unfortunately, the previous owner did not advise his customer base that a new restaurant was going to be opened, he told all that the restaurant was going to be closed permanently. After an extensive renovation, a new chef and a lot of hard work, we are confident that former customers and new customers will find us and our restaurant will become very busy, We appreciate your feedback and will consider it as we strive to improve.
